images, reproductions, activities, opportunities for experiences or encounters, moving or still pictures,
entertainment, and/or amusement, diutinguished by purpose and emphasis on matters depicting,
describing, or relating by any means of communication, from one (1) person to another, to "Specified
Sexual Activities" or "Specified Anatomical Areas" as herein defined in Section 1.2 of this Code. Such
establishment may or may not be open or available to the public generally, but shall exclude any
person under eighteen (18) years of age. It is the intent of this definition that determination as to
whether or not a specific establishment or activity falls within the context of regulation hereunder shall
be based upon the activity therein conducted or proposed to be conducted as set out above and in
these regulations. Such establishment shall not depend upon the name or title of the establishment
used or proposed, and it shall be irrespective of whether or not members of the public are invited to
enter such establishment. Thus, the terms "adult bookstore," "adult massage parlor," "adult motion
picture theater," "adult private dancing," and "adult escort service" are encompassed within this
definition of "Adult entertainment", but the term "Adult entertainment" is not to be deemed limited by
the enunciation of specific activities listed before. Adult entertainment establishments are allowed in
D2 industrial, subject to the limitations set forth in Article 6, Table 13.
Adult entertainment- Legislative Intent.
As intended in previous zoning ordinances, most particularly, Zoning ordinances 11000 and 9500, this
ordinance intends to regulate Adult entertainment as herein defined, to minimize deleterious effects on
the neighborhood. These deleterious effects have been presented as evidence and relied upon for
adoption in previous adult entertainment legislation in zoning ordinances 9500 and 11000, and are
also relied upon herein. Such deleterious effects may include, but not be limited to, depreciation of
values of nearby and adjacent properties, deterioration in appearance of the areas in which they are
located, production of a skid row type of atmosphere, discouragement of residential uses in the area,
and creation of an erotically suggestive atmosphere on public ways used by minors. Moreover, in the
development and enforcement of restrictions on Adult entertainment in this code, this section and in
Article 6, it is acknowledged that adult entertainment have been found to have serious objectionable
characteristics, and to have a deleterious effect on adjacent businesses and residential areas. In
making this finding, the Commission has reasonably relied upon evidence of conditions within the City
itself, evidence gathered by other localities and communities, and evidence described in judicial
opinions. For the protection and welfare of the community, it is necessary, to locate Adult
entertainment away from residential areas and commercial areas, and particularly away from public
facilities that are used frequently by minors, such as schools, churches, parks, libraries, day care
centers or nurseries, and to restrict Adult entertainment to industrial areas.
